@HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 I'm also not convinced that, even if they manage to erase everything including the Web Archive, they'll ever get the legal requirement to name names on public tax and legal filings abolished.

@anarchic_teapot @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 A CEO who isn't a public figurehead is worthless. That's part of what they're ridiculously overpaid to be.

@dalias @anarchic_teapot @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 I think there are notable exceptions where competent CEOs also happen to be really good engineers. Dr. Lisa Su, as an example.

@pkraus @dalias @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 And just coincidentally, she is unlikely to be killing and bankrupting thousands of Americans as a business model.

@anarchic_teapot @pkraus @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 Isn't her business model providing shovels for the world's two greatest scams? One of which involves lots of victims who've lost everything.

@dalias @anarchic_teapot @HarriettMB @ChrisMayLA6 that's certainly one way to look at it, Rich. By that measure no corporation is good - a view that I, as a Marxist, respect too.

On balance, I'd say AMD is the lesser evil between Intel and nVidia - decades of commitment to Linux, pushing open standards like OpenCL and FreeSync, and comparably few antitrust violations and shady practices (at least that we know about).
